can anyone give me some advice on reading high winds at St Andrews, on the 10th hole par 3 I had a 27 mph tailwind, I hit the ball at 160 and it went 157yds into the rough at the front of the green, and similarly I hit a flop shot at 19yds full power for it to go only 15yds, does the wind blow directly down as oppossed to from behind on some of the holes?
It certainly makes shot selection very tricky, are there any other holes where the wind blows from the sky to the ground or is it just these 2?
Regards
Adam
